The Terrible Child

This short uses puppets to tell the story of a child who speaks, eats, and walks from the day he is born. After a few days, he sets off in search of his brother. He finds him and they continue down the road together. What follows is the adventure of an ungrateful little boy who drags his brother along through his follies and mischief.
